HC Deb 09 March 1982 vol 19 cc352-3W
Sir Anthony Meyer

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what measures have been adopted and what action taken by the European Community to further the interests of consumers since the accession of the United Kingdom.

Dr. Vaughan

A considerable number of Community measures further the interests of consumers. In its reports on consumer protection and information policy the Commission of the European Communities has drawn attention to 128 directives adopted between 1 January 1973 and 1 January 1980 which it considers to be of interest to consumers. More recent figures are not yet available.
